KATHMANDU: Prime Minister (PM) KP Sharma Oli stated that the current coalition government must be made successful at any cost.

In a meeting with government secretaries on Tuesday, Prime Minister Oli recalled that during the confidence vote in the Parliament, he had stated the previous government’s failure to meet public expectations.

He asserted that the change in government, led by the two major parties — Nepali Congress and UML — was necessary due to widespread public disappointment.

These parties have been instrumental in the country’s economic and social transformation, he stated.

“Having played a crucial role in the country’s development from the Rana period to the monarchy, we now shoulder the extraordinary responsibility of this government,” he stated.

Prime Minister Oli made it clear that failure is not an option and that the government must succeed under all circumstances.

Addressing a meeting with Deputy Prime Ministers, Ministers, and other key officials, Prime Minister Oli urged, “We must not become complacent. Our goal is to signal success in the current financial year and accomplish even more in the next. This is an ‘action-oriented’ government, committed to making tangible improvements for the country. Decisions are made based on thorough evaluation, not political biases.”

Prime Minister Oli also addressed concerns about the longevity of the government, stating that he will step down a day before completing two years as agreed, paving the way for Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba to lead the government.

He assured that there is no risk of the government toppling and that it will ensure a stable working environment for employees.

He called for a planned approach to accelerate development, improve public services, eradicate hunger, and end misrule, aligning with the national aspiration of “Prosperous Nepal, Happy Nepali.”
